“Jeepers, that’s miles away!”
One of the very few negatives of living north of Hadrian’s Wall is that most of the good cars are usually pretty far away. And so it came to pass with a Mk1 Tuscan that caught my eye online – at Shmoo Automotive Ltd….and not at the Leicester office, but 462 miles away at the Shmoo Devon address!
I’d heard good things about the company through the various TVR circles, so I gave them a buzz to find out more. My initial enquiry landed with Ed, and he passed me on to Ross who had the car down in the south. They couldn’t have been more helpful. So much so, that I felt confident enough to buy the car ‘blind’, and have it delivered to Scotland by a third party recommended by Shmoo. The car arrived as scheduled and it was exactly as described. Sadly, I’ve since had to sell her due to ill health, but I hope to be back in the market for another TVR as soon as I am able. (We hope you are to Scott – Ross & Ed).
I know where my first port of call will be when the time comes…
